Joint Committee on Interments (Society of Friends : Hicksite : Philadelphia, Pa.)
The Joint Committee on Interments was appointed in 1843 to prepare rules and regulations for the management of funerals and to oversee the burial ground at Fair Hill. The committee included representatives of the three Hicksite monthly meetings in Philadelphia, viz. Cherry Street, Green Street, and Spruce Street. The sub-committee which had the direct oversight of the Fair Hill Burial Ground was called the Committee of Nine.
